-Sei's Pov-

Rin was getting used to staying here with us. I was happy that Gosu-kun said he could stay.

As long as he don't mess up the room, he says...

But...I really don't think Rin-kun is that type of person...He seems to enjoy cleaning and cooking.

I just hope that Rin is feeling okay after what happened...

But those scars...

They were there...

But then they were gone...

But it doesn't matter...

Wounds may heal but the scars will always remain...

I still can't believe the people Rin work with treat him this way...

I mean... it's not his fault he's Satan's son.

But...I don't care about that because I'm going to help him.

Right now...I need to go talk to Mr. Pheles...I think that's the principal's name.

Maybe he could help me about Rin-kun's problem.

In the meantime, I just hope Rin-kun and Gosu-kun will get along while I'm gone.

-Third's Pov-

Both Rin and Gosu were back in the dorms while Sei goes to speak to Mephisto. Kuro was also in the room, but he was too busy playing with some cat toys that Rin got for him.

Gosu:...So...Let me get this straight. You're Satan's son...?

Rin:...Yeah.

Rin just wished he wasn't having this conversation. He was scared that Gosu would fear him or hate him.

Gosu: Oh...Well...that's a shocker right there.

Rin: Uh-huh...

An awkward silence fills the room as Rin wanted to look away from Gosu's purple gazing eyes that spark with need of attention. Gosu then rubs the back of his head while trying to think of another question.

Gosu: So the reason why you're staying here is because of the others you socialize with are treating you unfairly...?

Rin looks him and solemnly nods. He didn't even need to answer that one. It was already known.

Gosu: Hmm...

Gosu looks down at his black fingernailed-hands as if he's trying to add up another question for Rin to answer. But he stopped himself because he felt like if ask anymore questions, he'll be pressuring the smaller male.

Gosu: Alright then. You can stay.

Rin: R-Really?!

Gosu nods with some sympathy in his voice.

Gosu: Of course. Troublesome. After hearing your side of the story, it's a bummer of how the people of this world treat each other. But to go as far to blame demons for their problems is no stranger. And exorcists...why am I not surprised...
This school is already weird enough. What a drag...

Rin: So I can really stay...?

Gosu: Sure. I already said you could.

Rin: B-But why...? I'm a demon. Satan's son, no doubt.

Gosu: So...? They only hate you for something you don't have control of...

Rin: So...

Gosu: I don't care. Those bunch of posers who call themselves human are basically demons theirselves. I bet some of them are even actual demons because the way they act. Besides, you help Sei out with his little 'problem' a few weeks back...

Rin:....

Gosu: I couldn't do nothing but watch one of my only friends get hurt...But because of you. You manage to get him back to normal. So...I'm guessing this is my way of saying thanks...Who knows what could've happen to Sei if you didn't step in and stop that demon or whatever was bothering him.

Gosu gave a look that shows concern but he masks his worry like a professional would.

Admirable.

Rin made a small grin while his tail wags a bit like a dog. Finally, someone else appreciate what he does for them.

Rin: You're welcome! Glad I could help!

Gosu stares at Rin a bit before he laughs softly.

Gosu: Didn't think the son of Satan was so cute. I was expecting you to be more menacing.

Rin:...Eh?

Gosu: Oh nevermind. Like I said before, you're welcome to stay here. A friend of Sei's is a friend of mine.

Rin smiles warmly. A new friend. Someone who does not judge him for who he is.

He was beginning to like it here at cram school.

-Meanwhile-

Sei finally made it to Mephisto's office.

He opens up the big door to be greeted by the Headmaster of True Cross Academy.

Mephisto: Hello there young student~!

Sei looks at the clown principal in shock by his appearance. He was wearing a pink frilly yukata that was obviously made for girls. Inside the principal's office was much worse than he imagine. There were so many japanese anime and manga all over the place along with sweets stuffed into jars.

Sei: H-Hello Sir Pheles. (Umm...Are Principals really supposed to have these type of things. I never would've thought he would be an otaku.)

Mephisto: I know you are here for a reason.

Sei: Y-Yes. It concerns a friend of mine...

Mephisto made a large grin which made the boy feel uncomfortable.

Mephisto: Oh. If it's really about your 'friend'. Then we are going to have a long talk~!
